Take A Back Road
Rodney Atkins
CAPO 1
[Intro]
D Asus4
D Asus4 G G
[Verse 1]
D
Sit in that six-lane backed up traffic
Asus4
Horns are honking, I've about had it
G
I'm looking for an exit sign
G
Gotta get out of here, get it all off my mind
D
And like a memory from your grandpa's attic
Asus4
A song comes slippin' through the radio static
G
Changing my mood
G Asus4
A little George Strait 1982
[Chorus]
D
And it makes me wanna take a back road
Asus4
Makes me wanna take the long way home
Em7 Dadd9
Put a little gravel in my travel
G Asus4
Unwind, unravel all night long
D
Makes me wanna grab my honey
Asus4
Tear down some two-lane country, who knows
Em7 Dadd9 G
Get lost and get right with my soul
G
Makes me wanna take
G
Makes me wanna take a back road.
[Instrumental]
D Asus4 G G
[Verse 2]
D
I've been cooked up, fried down, 'bout forgotten
Asus4
What a field looks like, full of corn and cotton
G
If I'm gonna hit a traffic jam,
G
Well it better be a tractor man
D
So sick and tired of this interstate system
Asus4
I need a curve and wide-a-twistin'
Em7 Dadd9
Dusty path to nowhere
G Asus4
With the wind blowing through my baby's hair
[Chorus]
D
And it makes me wanna take a back road
Asus4
Makes me wanna take the long way home
Em7 Dadd9
Put a little gravel in my travel
G Asus4
Unwind, unravel all night long
D
Makes me wanna grab my honey
Asus4
Tear down some two-lane country, who knows
Em7 Dadd9 G
Get lost and get right with my soul
G
Makes me wanna take
G
Makes me wanna take a back road.
[Instrumental]
D Asus4 G G
[Bridge]
D Asus4
Maybe it's the feeling or maybe it's the freedom
G
Maybe it's that shady spot
G
Where we park the truck when the things get hot
G
Where we park the truck when the things get hot
[Chorus]
D
And it makes me wanna take a back road
Asus4
Makes me wanna take the long way home
Em7 Dadd9
Put a little gravel in my travel
G Asus4
Unwind, unravel all night long
D
Makes me wanna grab my honey
Asus4
Tear down some two-lane country, who knows
Em7 Dadd9 G
Get lost and get right with my soul
G
Makes me wanna take
G D
Makes me wanna take a back road.
Asus4 G
Some old back road, get right with my soul
G D
Now all I gotta do is take some old back road
Asus4 G
To the shady spot where things get hot
G D
Way down, way down, way down some old back road
